Mason Report post Posted December 2, 2005 I was a safford boy for the first 8 years of my life. I thought I was the stuff then as well. Then I moved to St. David and knew I was all that. I just looked at the photo. Man he is great. I am glad I passed on him the day before so some one else could have a shot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Arizona Guide, thank you from the bottom of my heart for passing on that buck. Just so you know though, I don't think that I'm all that. I got lucky, plain & simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.270 Report post Posted December 2, 2005 little Mace, great buck. one of the rumors that i heard was that some of pearson's texas whitetail pets got loose and bred with coues and that yours was one of the offspring. typical jealous bs that starts whenever somebody gets a big one. couple years ago a friend o' my oldest son got a 120+ 3x3 and i posted some photos of just the head and everyone immediately said he was a crossbreed mule deer. he wasn't. just a big buck. anyway, the field photos that is saw were of a great big coues. great buck and great job. you need to tell us a little more about the hunt. had you seen him before? tell your ol' man howdy for me.

azhuntsmen Report post Posted December 2, 2005 like many have stated its the harvest of the animal that counts, if its spike to a monster 4x4 130 thats all a bonus and just a bonus. Congrats on the harvest of a beautiful animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
